General Vintage Tone 1954 to 1956 Original HIPS “ Polystyrene “ Pickguard For Stratocaster®️ Pre CBS exclusive Vintage collector GVT®️ Hips Polystyrene .

After 3 years making our authentic Polystyrene blanks we list for sale our HIPS Pickguards , the authentic material used in the first 1954 / 1955 Stratocaster models .

There is nothing that looks as good as the authentic and it is a great novelty to be able to offer exclusively another GVT product as exclusive, unique and incredible as the pickguards used in Strat.

The construction of the pickguards and tremolo backplates is the same as in the beginning of the first HIPS Stratocaster, many people know it as Bakelite but it is HIPS "High Impact Polystyrene" They were weaker than the material
abs that started in mid 55, that's why today we see cracked pickguards or cracked parts in pickup covers and buttons
